Update character variables

Description

update_character_vars() is an Update function that edits an object, while preserving core object attributes. Specifically, this function implements an algorithm to update character variables. The function returns Dataset (a tibble).

Usage

update_character_vars(
  ds_tb,
  var_nms_chr,
  as_missing_chr = character(0),
  missing_1L_chr = NA_character_,
  prefix_1L_chr = character(0),
  remove_end_chr = character(0),
  remove_start_chr = character(0),
  replacement_fn_ls = list(end = stringi::stri_replace_last_fixed, start =
    stringi::stri_replace_first_fixed),
  x_ready4show_correspondences = ready4show::ready4show_correspondences()
)

prefix_1L_chr	Prefix (a character vector of length one), Default: character(0)
remove_end_chr	Remove end (a character vector), Default: character(0)
remove_start_chr	Remove start (a character vector), Default: character(0)
replacement_fn_ls	Replacement (a list of functions), Default: list(end = stringi::stri_replace_last_fixed, start = stringi::stri_replace_first_fixed)
x_ready4show_correspondences	PARAM_DESCRIPTION, Default: ready4show::ready4show_correspondences()
